Six
experienced practitioners have created a comprehensive work on all areas of AC
racing boat sport with internal combustion engine propulsion with competent
treatises from their respective specialties.
The
Book begins with a description of a successful kit model for getting started in
this fascinating hobby. It continues with the technical basics of the different
racing boat classes, hull shapes and various propulsion concepts, and goes on
to provide the basic theoretical knowledge for the construction of racing boat
models. In this chapter, in addition to design implementation, the production
of hull forms and the use of fiber-reinforced plastics are also dealt with in
detail.
Other
topics include engine tuning, all the necessary accessories, where to buy them
- an extensive reference list provides valuable help here - and how to adapt
things available for sale to special requirements.
